Gerwig and the film's production designer Sarah Greenwood spoke to Architectural Digest about creating the bubblegum-hued set."I wanted the pinks to be very bright, and everything to be almost too much," Gerwig said.The company that makes the particular shade of fluorescent pink, Rosco, confirmed the Barbie film had cleaned them out.
"They used as much paint as we had," Lauren Proud, vice president of global marketing, told the Los Angeles Times. But, she said, they were already suffering from supply chain issues thanks to the impact of the pandemic and extreme winter weather in Texas damaging materials used to make the paint."There was this shortage and then we gave them everything we could - I don't know they can claim credit," she said.There was just enough to complete the set for the production, which was mostly shot at Warner Bros Studios in Leavesden, Hertfordshire.
